I'm not particularly recommending it... but if you like Grover, know that there are other books featuring him, and your library might still have some of them.

I found this book at a garage sale and had to buy it, despite the fact that I'm pretty sure Mumford isn't on Sesame Street anymore.

So I had to explain "A La Peanut Butter Sandwiches!" to Mini-Me before I read it to her, but she thought it was hilarious and was eager to read the story right away - and wanted a second reading right after that. She especially loved the cameos from Santa, Cookie Monster and Grover. -- Kim, GoodReads
